Please make it stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but this is really getting ridiculous! Regular gas in my area (West Michigan) is now $1.00 LESS per gallon than diesel. Diesel jumped today from $3.10 to $3.58!! The real heating season hasn't even arrived yet! $4 per gallon is coming quick folks.....my truck's going to be parked.

2.27 reg / 2.74 diesel. That's the lowest I've seen around here.

I felt the "pain at the pump" today, and a week ago. Last Thursday I put in $92.92 worth at $3.11 a gallon. Today, 504 miles later, I put in $99.73 at $3.49 a gallon. This is just obscene, and I can't believe regular unleaded is at $2.49 a gallon and diesel is at $3.49. What is going on in the Mid-West? Mass. is cheaper and the New England states use all the HHO.

At this rate, it won't be long before I spend just as much money in fuel every month as what my truck payment is. This is just ridiculous.

Wow, that's a HUGE difference. Around here, it's about a $.50 difference.

Laredo....it is ridiculous....yesterday Wesco (station chain in West Michigan) had diesel at $3.58, then they lowered it to $3.38 later in the day, and today it's back at $3.48...regular is $2.48....still a buck difference.....Speedway (the outfit that seems to set the price in Michigan) had diesel for $3.38 yesterday around here and it was $3.55 in northern Michigan. My wife filled the truck up yesterday at an independent mom&pop station that was still at (only!!!) $3.10. All this and I saw yesterday that oil futures went down....normally if they go up the price goes up the same day too.... Walmart still had diesel (at least the sign said) $3.07 today....how can there be such a difference!!!

New truck and still looking for 54 parts.

I just bought an 06 F250 Diesel....Other than the cost of fuel. $3.35 in Northern Nevada, it's way better than the 02 I had.

Still looking for some F350 hood emblems for my 54 F350.
Anyone know of any around
